Fer cryin out loud! He been on the job for only 10 days!

Heck I voted for the man because I knew he'd put qualified people in but that doesn't mean you start putting his face on Mt. Rushmore!

These people are creating a cult of personality about the President that is scaring the out of me.

What's next? Naming a day of the week after him? Giving out Obama tracts? Obama relics?

I tried to address Obamamania a bit in Moonscape. The President must cringe. (I certainly hope so!) It's becoming ridiculous. I personally don't think anything should be officially named after a sitting President, on principle. Also, I recall the hero-worship of John Kennedy (mea culpa!) -- and then Bay of Pigs and the Vietnam War.

I've got high hope for Obama, and love most of what he's already done, but I refuse to put on blinders again, as I did with JFK.
